The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets have considered a deal that would include center Jordan Hill and the Nets' Disabled Player Exception, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

When center Brook Lopez went down with a season-ending foot injury, the Nets acquired a $5.25 million disabled player exception.

They would use that to take some of the hit needed to sign Hill in this case. But, as Wojnarowski acknowledged, the numbers could work as a hindrance to the Nets' ability to pull the trigger.

Hill is set to make $3.5 million this season, and because the Nets' salary is way over the cap, they also stand to pay a substantial luxury tax hit. Taking on Hill's deal and the tax could mean a hit of nearly $17 million.

Hills has averaged 8.5 points and 7.0 rebounds this season, and, because of a strained relationship with coach Mike D'Antoni, the center is unlikely to sign to LA as a free agent, according to Wojnarowski.
